I am inspired by the Julie/Julia Project!

This morning I watched the movie "Julie and Julia"! It was a delight to watch, not to mention how inspiring it was. I can identify with Julie from an A.D.D. perspective and how finishing something is important. I liked the part where she says that's the reason why she's so bad at keeping house.

I give Julie tons of credit for taking on her challenge and I'm inspired, not to copy or re-create the Julie/Julia Project, but to for once in my life, get something done. The feeling of actually finishing something you started is as rewarding to me as, well, winning a race.

It's exhausting being me. I, like Julie and Julia, have married a Saint. Without him, I would be more lost than I am in this world. We left our big fat lives in New York and moved to the beach in Wilmington, NC to open a boutique winery. Look us up at www.nbwinery.com. We began this project 2.5 years ago and we aggressively strive to keep 60 varieties of wine, made by us, on premise, on the shelves. Don't get me wrong....I asked for this....but being open 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, is quite a lot to manage, let alone a house and two kids. OK, boo hoo, I'm tired and for once would like to go home to a clean and tidy house.....therefore, I am going to hire a house keeper! Ingenious, no? NO! I need to be in control of everything and hiring a housekeeper is out of the question.

So....I will be inspired by the woman who took on the courageous challenge of cooking French, and just do something for once! I am going to leave work early today and clean my house until it is all done! Then I am going to schedule time to do something every day to maintain it! There....so it is written, so it will be done!

Thank you Julia!
